Does Firefox have an app for documents, similar to Google Docs?

I want to type documents in Firefox, like I do in Google Docs. The reason I'm not using Google Docs or a Word program is that I can't use those to write in Indonesian, with the support of a spell-checker.

Unfortunately, no, Mozilla does not have any word processor of its own.

Have you looked at these free office suites as an alternative:

These were once one program and diverged a couple years ago, so I don't know which is best at this point.

IMO, Open Office may be the better choice for you, but I'm not 100% sure.

Before the split into two separate open source projects, Open Office did have a browser plugin that pretty much integrated Open Office with Firefox. Still present in the version of Open Office that I installed on my mother's PC a couple of years ago; not sure about the current version though. IMO, that would provide the best integration of Open Office with Firefox. I still remember being pleased when that plugin was added to Open Office back in like 2004 or 2005.

On my own PC I use Libre Office, which does not have that browser plugin, and don't think that plugin was ever in Libre Office. I switched to Libra Office when it looked like Oracle was just going to "shit-can" Open Office after most of the open source volunteer developers involved with the Open Office project left and started Libre Office. In the end Oracle decided to 'hand-off' Open Office to The Apache Software Foundation rather than "kill it" altogether. Oracle acquired Sun Microsystems in 2010 for their Java program, and Sun 'owned' the non-open source part of Open Office. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun_acquisition_by_Oracle
